Karoliina Korhonen says she is a female ‘Matti’ herself, and that the situations she depicts are largely from her own experiences. According to her, the Matti comics were born by accident, when she drew some sketches for her foreign friends to explain ‘Finnishness’. Korhonen is a graphic designer who lives in the city of Oulu, in central Finland.
